Chapter 2:
I woke up and got dressed for another day of school. When I got outside there was a chauffeur opening a door for me to a limo. This man's name is Artemis. He is the head of Grandma's security and Grandma wanted Artemis to be my chauffeur and baby-sitter. Pretty much she thought I needed protection, but the question is against whom?
I couldn't stop thinking about what Grandmother said. I still couldn't believe it. From all the people in the world I was stuck being the Moon Princess. I couldn't even concentrate during my classes. Like it was anything new, but it was different today. Everywhere I looked I saw crescent shaped moons. I just couldn't get it out of my mind. Even looking at Andrew caused me to see moons. I was just loosing it.
After school I ran over to Grandmothers home in Tokyo where she barely ever resided in. There was security all over the house. I had to buzz the intercom and state who I was before they would let me in. To get to the door faster and ran on the grass and instead of using the drive way. Big mistake! The security guard was ready to bite my head off, but Grandmother saved me, but I had to hear it from her instead.
"Serena, how many times do I have to tell you not to walk on people's grass? You are a Princess now you have to be more respectful."
"Grandmother I do not need this. I am already not normal teenager and now I more unnormal than I was yesterday. It isn't everyday that you learn you are a Princess. Especially of a planet and not a country like it should be."
"Serena we can't always get what we want. I had to have a crybaby of a granddaughter who is clumsy and annoying than a quite, respectful proper granddaughter."
"I resent that Grandmother."
"Please sit down Serena."
"Tea again! Do you ever have coffee?"
"Not in Tokyo. I think I should tell you the rest if you think you can handle it."
"Will, I don't think it matters if I can handle it or not I will have to hear any way even if I don't want to know."
"That's true. I would like to tell you that your real name is Princess Serenity. Serena is your nick name. You were born on the Moon, but after the deadly battle with the Negaverse your mother fled from the Moon. I helped her escape while your Father battled Queen Metalia. Your mother wanted to save you from the danger and found that you being heir to the moon would just bring you much grieve like it brought her being married to you father. She loved your father, but she couldn't deal with what came with it. She wanted to leave sooner before you were born, but it was dangerous to do so at the time. Your mother fled to Earth, but it wasn't enough to safe both of your lives. She hid you when the enemy had found her. They took her life without even thinking of consequences. When your father had learned of it his anger caused him to trap the enemy in the Imperium Crystal instead of finishing them right there and now. He knew very well that he could not because his anger would cause him to lose focus of his duties. I had found you hidden and brought it to your father's attention that it would be best if you had a normal life. So I found you this family. That is when your Father called a meeting with all the royals of the planets and found it that it was best that all should forget what had happened. The battle with the Negaverse destroyed many planets and many lives. The parents also worried. The survivors of the battle moved to Earth with their children. The royals decided that all should forget what had happened and that no life existed outside of Earth. There was only few that know of the truth. It has been 14 years everyone has lived in peace, but Queen Metalia has awoken once again and was able to break through the barrier that withheld him. Your father battled him once again, but he was not strong enough and was killed."
"Grandmother, I do not want to hear any more. You are telling both of my parents are dead because of this Queen Metalia that has desire to rule the universe. You are lying," I yelled crying.
"Serena calm down. I know it's hard to hear, but I have one more thing to say."
"I don't think I can handle any more."
"Well, I think you should hear this. You are the only one that can take the throne and battle Queen Metalia to the end. There are five princesses that I know of that are able to help you in this mission."
"I do not want to take the throne and battle Queen Metalia. I want to be a normal teenager and forget what has happened to my parents."
"You must or she will take your place."
"Who will take my place?"
"Beryl will take your place and she is not fit to be Queen of the Moon. I know one of the princesses and I know where the second one is. Amy is the Mercury Princess."
"Who is this Beryl?"
"A very difficult girl who I have heard is cold-hearted."
"I will need some time to think about this."
"Serena, you can make your final decision at the ball I am having with all that know the truth and on that day you will make your decision, but before then you must come here every day to practice being a princess and learn how to fight. These are my terms."
"Fine Grandmother."
"Also Artemis will be escorting you to school every single day to make sure you not late and that you are safe."
"Must I have this person follow me like a puppy dog?"
"He won't follow you like a puppy dog, more like a cat. He will be watching your every move and he takes his order from me. Don't try to ditch him either. Are we understood?"
"Yes clearly."
Grandmother was always on my case. From all the Grandmothers I could have had I had to have the stuffy strict grandmother who lectures me about everything. It's just isn't fair. How am I able to deal with this all? I find out how my parents died, who I am, where I come from and that I have to rule and battle an enemy I don't anything about. I am thinking right now Poor Serena. Poor little me! But I am also so hungry now. I need some cake to feel better and I need a long nap too.
I fed my bunny Usagi some carrots and went to sleep dreaming of my hunky Andrew. How I drooled in my sleep as I thought about him.
